Building on the city’s tech boom to create new economic opportunity, Sidewalk Labs and Waterfront Toronto have come together to launch a technological testbed, known as Sidewalk Toronto. Blending cutting-edge, digital technology with human-centred urban design, Sidewalk Toronto’s goal is to create modern, mixed-use communities that are connected, sustainable and affordable.

What began in March, 2017 with a Request for Proposals (RFP) by Waterfront Toronto seeking a partner for the new Quayside development district, has since blossomed into a progressive alliance with potential global impacts. All eyes are on this new partnership as it forges the path to urban innovation and sets out to transform the city’s derelict, post-industrial waterfront into a leading-edge community where data captures all, and progressive minds seek perpetual change for the better.
